Gilbert Walker (15 February 1888  - 8 May 1952) was an English cricketer. Walker was a right-handed batsman. He was born at Olton, Warwickshire.

Walker made a single first-class appearance for Warwickshire against Sussex at Edgbaston in the 1912 County Championship.[1] Sussex made 151 in their first-innings and in response Warwickshire made 257 in their first-innings, with Walker being dismissed for a duck by Harry Simms. Sussex made 150 in their second-innings, leaving Warwickshire with a target of 45. Walker had batted at number eight in the first-innings, but was promoted to open the batting, scoring 13 runs before he was dismissed by Simms.
